I am looking for a brogue boot on the dressier side. I have an Allen Edmonds Dalton in bourbon (dress) and Carlos Santos 8922 in guimaraes (casual).
Looking for something similar to walnut Dalton but more refined and better quality...

I see the following
-trickers Stowe (very country and round)
-pediwear langli by CS (has ridgeway sole and storm welt)
-Carlos santos 8922 (round toe and pebble grain, more country style)
-barker calder (probably the sleakest of above but bulkier appearance than I would like)

Any recommendations will be appreciated. Price under $350..

If you have your size dialed in on Carlos Santos, I’d probably stick with that. Good looks, good value.

If cost is a consideration, Trickers Outlet has several Stow models for cheap with an extra 20% off. They end up at around $285 shipped to the US.

Would've bought another pair myself (currently have them in Beechnut commando sole), but I grabbed a couple of pairs of Carmina and a pair of C&J during black friday...

If they get a tan/walnut color, I’ll be all over it...
Closest to what I am looking for..

I saw your comment and snagged the pic to post here. I’ve been looking for a scotch grain wingtip boot for a while.

Gentlemen’s Footwear has two similar boots on their website from Carmina and Alden that I’ve been eyeing. One is a full brogue the other semi-brogue. They’re both around $550 though.
